Users Guide Overview for

IntelliOpticsTM

2

IntelliOpticsTM structural health monitoring software, offered by Cleveland Electric Laboratories, is a powerful, user-friendly interface that collects data from multiple sensor types and displays status information via one centralized program. The software provides a template that may be flexibly tailored for virtually any type of bridge configuration and customized by the user to suit their particular application; the software also easily accommodates future changes, upgrades or additions to sensor systems or configurations. Readings from all sensors are available in real-time, presented in both an intuitive graphic form that is easily understood, and in numeric/tabular format; all data are stored to a secure database, with various options for sensor data backup and retrieval available. IntelliOpticsTM may be securely accessed by multiple users from remote locations, with varying levels of user access privileges that are configurable by system administration personnel.

This overview provides a general guide to the many features offered in the software. All screen capture examples shown in this guide are excerpted from an actual bridge installation. Cleveland Electric Laboratories invites your inquiries on how the power, security and flexibility of IntelliOpticsTM may be applied to your bridge structural health monitoring requirements.

Advanced

The advanced settings page allows administrator log-in, and presents a read-only chart

showing the minimum and maximum limits set for sensors. Administrator log-in is required in

order to change the settings for each sensor, as well as to make changes to the SQL database.

This page is for administrator use only, and is inactive for the end user.

Advanced

Upon successful log-in by the administrator on the initial advanced page, the software opens

access to zone limits, security, report subscription and displacement settings. A separate page

is provided for each zone containing sensors; an example page for zone 1 is shown below.

Each sensor has minimum and maximum warning and limit values. The administrator defines

these values for each sensor.

If a given sensor reading reaches the defined minimum or maximum warning value, the color of the

status icon on the optical sensors page will change to yellow. Similarly, if a given sensor reading

reaches the defined minimum or maximum limit value, the color of the status icon on the optical sensors

page will change to red.

A. Minimum alert limit

B. Minimum warning limit

C. Maximum warning limit

D. Maximum alert limit

If a given sensor reading reaches the defined minimum or maximum warning value, the color of the

status icon on the optical sensors page will change to yellow. Similarly, if a given sensor reading

reaches the defined minimum or maximum limit value, the color of the status icon on the optical sensors

page will change to red.
